LD 2000 Professional Laser Software For Laser Light / Light Show Controller Software
LD2000 is a professional level software, used for creating the highest quality laser shows. Over the last decade, LD2000 has become the “industry standard” for professional laser show control.
It is a complete system, and comes with the LD2000 software and QM2000 hardware. It is available in three levels: Intro, Basic, and Pro.
Pangolin offers a convenient upgrade path between these versions. Just about anything you want to do with laser graphics and beams, you can do with LD2000. It comes with 150 pre-programed laser shows, and over 300,000 laser clip art frames.
LD2000 has won more awards for clients than any other laser controller on the market today!
Product Overview
Lasershow Designer is one of the most popular professional-level laser show software on Earth. There are three versions of Lasershow Designer 2000. Each includes a QM2000 hardware board, a 50-page illustrated manual, and an Installation CD/DVD with programs, help files, clipart frames, free shows and even royalty-free music.
LD2000 Professional is the highest version, for those doing laser shows full-time. It includes all features, including the ability to create 3D objects. When making a show, you can have up to 32 objects (tracks) simultaneously.
- An LD2000 Pro system can create or edit a show with up to 30 projectors, in the same computer or over an Ethernet network, provided that you have a QM2000 for each projector.
LD2000 Basic is mid-level. You can make flat, 2D drawings but not 3D objects. The abstract generator has two oscillators, instead of Pro’s three. When making a show, there are 16 tracks available.
LD2000 Intro is the lowest-cost, yet it still has a lot of power. You can create a variety of frames and shows with the Intro version. However, the frames will be flat (2D), and the Abstract Generator has only one oscillator. When making a show, you can only work with 8 tracks, and there are fewer effects such as morphing. Still, for many simple uses, Intro is more than capable of doing high-quality shows.
Intro systems are often used as “slaves” for running multiple laser projectors and scanner heads. Intro systems also are ideal for playback-only applications, since they can play back any show created on any version: Pro, Basic or Intro.
Lasershow Designer 2000 – features
Lasershow Designer is one of the most popular professional-level laser show software on Earth. This page gives you a brief overview of the features in an LD2000 system.
QM2000 laser computer card
A hardware card that goes in the computer. The QM2000 is a sophisticated laser-computer-on-a-board; it handles all laser signal processing so output quality does not depend on the Windows PC’s microprocessor. (Note: Because it handles all laser signal processing, the QM2000 must be installed in the computer or in a .NET configuration, in order for LD2000 to run.)
Lasershow Designer 2000 frame creator
A program for creating, editing and animating frames. This was the first software component written for LD2000, so it is also called Lasershow Designer 2000 (or the “frame editor”).
Showtime show creation software
A program for making the laser show. You create effects, and sequencing those effects with frames and music. This is called Showtime; it uses a timeline editing system similar to standard multimedia programs (Adobe Premiere, Macromedia Director).
